Sound for a PBL Shay
After reading and rereading Bill Adkins article on adding a Zimo decoder to a 16 ton Shay I decided to give it a try with one twist. I wanted sound.
I got out the scale and measured the fuel bunker and decided with a little luck, the DSD-090LC might just fit so I ordered one. I also ordered a .5" speaker with enclosure.
I dissasembled the loco following Bill's article. I could not have done this without Bill Adkins article that is in the Cyber-Articles section of NWNG-Sn3Group list. Take a look at it. Here is a link to it. You must be a member of the group to view it.
UPDATE: I purchased a micro Tsunami and replaced the DSD with it. Sounds better and it was even smaller so it's an easier fit.
Here is the bunker.
I had to cut a little section out of the flange.
Here is a picture of everthing wired together.
Here is the speaker in its enclosure. The photo on the right shows it installed. I used double sided foam tape for this.
The squeeze job. Barely fits is an understatement.
